On today's episode I chat with Molly LaCroix about her new book! This is Molly's second appearance on the podcast. Hear her first episode here: IFS and Why Christians Talk So Much About Love But Often Fail to be Loving with Molly LaCroix - Tammy Sollenberger

Molly is a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in treating the impact of trauma and adversity. She earned a master’s in marriage and family therapy from Bethel Seminary San Diego, where she returned as an adjunct professor. Molly is a Certified and Level Three-trained IFS therapist and clinical consultant.

We talk about:

Integrating Christian spirituality with the IFS model for personal growth and healing
Using Hagar's story to introduce Self, with emphasis on self-awareness and connection to the divine
Understanding Self and sin in Christian context, using King David as an example
Internal work impacting relationships, using Good Samaritan parable as example
The importance of internal work for spiritual growth and loving others unconditionally
Managers and Firefighters stories found in the Bible
Spiritual abuse, Enneagram, and personal growth
